Our children spend their time with caring and gentle adults who are fun to be around and who genuinely love being with them. Our nursery is small and intimate and all the staff know all the children well. All our staff are well qualified for their role. Everyone is trained in first aid and safeguarding. All our staff are encouraged and supported in further training in general childcare and in more specialised areas such as Special Educational Needs and also in practical skills like food hygiene.

Nursery Manager and Poppets Room Leader
I have managed settings for over 14 years now and love everything about children and nursery life. I have two very grown up children and a grandson that I adore spending time with. I enjoy the outdoors; particularly challenging myself to stay fit. I have worked here for 5 years and am proud to be manager of the Wantage Nursery. I have a BA in Early Childhood studies and enjoy learning and gaining knowledge, just like the children I work with!
I have worked in childcare for 14 years and joined the Wantage nursery in 2010 where I have found a home. I have a diploma in preschool practice and really enjoy teaching the Preschool. I love working at this nursery as it is such a small and friendly team; the children really feel at home and this creates a relaxed and happy atmosphere. I am a cheerful and calm person and my passions are children and animals, particularly spending time with my lovely dog Quinn.
